Abstract: A garage door opener system includes a garage door opener having one or more sensors configured to monitor the status of a garage door as it moves between first and second positions. The garage door opener system may detect one or more anomalies in a profile generated from information from the one or more sensors and alert a user to the presence of those anomalies. The garage door opener system may allow a user to find and contact a service provider to address the one or more anomalies.

Abstract: Disclosed is an operator for a garage door including one or more cameras. The operator consists of a motor, a traction mechanism connected with the motor, a door connected with the traction mechanism, wherein operation of the motor causes the traction mechanism to open and/or close the door and wherein the door is located in a doorway, a controller operatively connected with the motor to open and close the door, an imaging system connected with the controller and positioned to collect image data, and a communication system connected with the controller, the communication system adapted to send data, including image data, from the controller and to communicate command signals to the controller, wherein image data is sent to a remote user device and command signals are received from the remote user device. The controller is also connected to one or more lock actuators that can lock and unlock the garage door as well as one or more man doors.

Abstract: A vehicle restraint apparatus includes a frame supporting an articulated arm assembly which is pivotable between a retracted or stored position and an extended operative position for engagement with the ICC bar or other restraint member connected to a truck or truck trailer. An electric motor driven linear actuator is connected to the arm assembly to move the arm assembly between its stored position and a working position. The linear actuator may be a power screw and nut mechanism operably connected to a tubular sleeve member which is connected at one end to the arm assembly and is sleeved over a linearly extensible member of the actuator. The actuator is operable to retract the linearly extensible member when the arm assembly is in its working position to allow floating motion of the truck or truck trailer doing loading and/or unloading operations. The arm assembly is biased into its working position by a gas spring.
